Project Grad Volunteers Needed

Project Graduation is a cherished tradition that has brought joy and lasting memories to graduating seniors at HHS for decades. It provides them with an opportunity to come together, have fun, and safely celebrate with their classmates before heading their separate ways in the fall.

Parents of ANY high school students, please sign up and support this event. Your year will be coming up soon!

Summer Self-Care Guide for LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC Youth

It's Pride Month, but HCC loves to uplift and support LGBTQ+ youth all year long.

According to the 2024 Trevor Project U.S National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People, only 40% of LGBTQ+ young people reported 'home' as an affirming space, so it was important to create this guide for youth to learn more about self-care and implement healthy strategies over the Summer. Additionally, the guide has many resources that youth can lean on when they need support.

It's Prom/Graduation Season

This is a time of year for celebration, but also a time to have conversations with the young people you love about making smart and healthy choices.

This is one of three posters designed by the HHS Getting to Y group that will be hung up at prom this weekend. The group felt strongly about discouraging alcohol use to celebrate, especially since YRBS data indicates that alcohol is a substance used at higher rates than others.

Celebrate Smart
